Default Chaos Descending Character Select Screen

There's several people complaining about the red cast to the new Chaos Descending Character Select screen on the EQ2 Forums.

I see that this screen is animated... is the background image moddable? If it is, I can guess that many folks would like to use custom wallpaper back there.

I looked around the UI, and I don't find anything that looks like the correct file for this.

It's not just an animated image, it's actually a legit zone with your character planted in the middle. There was a time long ago in original EverQuest when your character could step down off the platform and run around the character select zone. It was tiny and there was nothing to do, but it was a hoot anyway. I doubt it's still like that.

To answer your question, we can change the 3D character select zone to the same degree that we can modify any zone, which is to say, we cannot. I can put something like a 50% shade over the whole thing, but that would include the character as well as the environment. I'd rather see the developers just tone down the red haze.

Thanks for the answer, Darq! I suspected that it was something dished up from server side, but I couldn't prove it for sure.

For players who are disturbed by the very red character select screen, unzip and drop the below file into your custom UI folder to reduce the red tint. It's a very simple filter added over the window, with just a little bit of green to offset the red. When and if the game developers change the art, you can simply delete the file which will go back to using the default.

If you want to play around with tint (BackgroundColor) and opacity (BackgroundOpacity) of the filter, you can find the values on line 507.

There is supposed to be a change to the character select screen in today's patch. Assuming you like it, you won't need to change anything. If not, post here again and I'll walk you through setting up this file.
